No. you can live where you want, but it's up to you to attend drills wherever your unit is.
There are no National Guard boot camps. Boot camps are administered by the U.S. Army. All army branches train there whether active, Reserve or National Guard. These camps are located throughout the U.S.
You don't have to move to enlist in the National Guard, although, if you had a certain MOS in mind, and there isn't one locally, you might end up with the choice of either moving or making a long drive to get to your UTAs.
You would have to wait 3 yrs. after the discharge with a waiver.
You would need to speak with a recruiter or career counselor. They would have a list of the have and can't haves.

The Army does not require a high school diploma or GED to enlist, but most of the other branches of service do.
A GED or High School diploma is required to enlist. At one time, many people (including me) DID earn their GED while serving in the military.
You can enlist in the the Army, Army National Guard and Reserves until the age of 40, so you still have a few years to join.
There are actually two National Guards, but when people say the National Guard they are probably (but not necessarily) talking about the Army National Guard. The other National Guard is the Air National Guard which is to the Air Force what the Army National Guard is to the Army.
